28 THE ITIIRROR Pierce, led me to my room and waited so long for a tip that I was obliged to throw him out. ' I had barely got settled in my room when the noise of a great confusion arose from the street. Not wanting to miss anything I went out and followed a torch- light parade to a huge square. The cause of the excitement was a double ceremony. First a huge statue of a Greek god, dedi- cated to art, was unveiled. The bronze plate at its base explained that Dorothy Munster, famous sculptress, had hewn the image from solid marble, using XYalter Brinn as a model. The second part of the ceremony was an honorary presen- tation in which Martha Robinson, Mar- guerite Mochard, Florence XVheeler, and Helen Lindberg, leaders of the Girl Scout movement in Olympia, presented Vvfillard Mosher with an honorary membership for his heroic work in rescuing Pearl Neal from the path of a steam-roller which Si Crowe was driving at the speed of an express train. I returned to the hotel and went to bed. I was soon awakened, however, by the noise of what seemed to be a riv- eting machine. I looked out into the hall and found thatiit was only IYinn Phelps, another bell-boy, winding his watch. He said that he was carrying his watch in his hip pocket so that he would not be behind time. The next morning I was aroused by a loud knocking on the door. I cautiously opened it a few inches and saw that it was Pearl Terrell, a chamber-maid. She had come up to inform me that a taxi was awaiting me. I asked her who sent it, but she went off without answering me. I dressed quickly and after a hurried breakfast went out. As I stepped out oi the door I was nearly knocked down by a main running as fast as he could go and carryinga small rug. He stopped and as I saw that he was Harold Hentzi I asked him where was he rushing. He explained that he was doing odd jobs when Emma Thomas gave him a rug, and told him to beat it-That's what he was doing. I then jumped into the taxi which was driven by none other than Norwell Horn- beck. VVe darted down the street at a terrihc speed, while I wondered where he could be taking me. VVe were held up for half an hour at a corner while Clifford Blomberg, the traffic officer, was helping Doris Crimmins catch her pet window mop, an elusive little Pomeranian. Af- ter several delays we arrived at a large, white building. I entered and found that practically all of my old classmates had arrived there before me. They seemed to be holding some sort of an election for such civic officials, as Leslie' Baxter, Verna Clark and Eva Burnham, were passing out and collect- ing small slips of paperg while Marion Smith, Laura Palmer and Isabel Kemp- ton were assorting and counting them. Finally I was led to the platform where Arthur Read addressed the assembly, as he used to in high school, with silver tongued oratory. He told how Arthur Burke and George Fox. the eminent scientists, had discov- ered how to reverse the experiment that had brought me to Olympia. Further- more, he said that as I had only recently come to this new world, and as they were perfectly satisfied to remain, they had, after careful deliberation, decided that, as it was of vital importance to the future of Olympia, I should be used to prove the practiability of the experiment. As I had no other choice I received my in- structions. I was to be sent back to Earth. XYithout further delay we all left the city by means of aeroplanes and soon af- ter passing over mountains and fields, ar- rived at the cabin I had come there in. Near the cabin a strange apparatus was set up and john Small and Arthur Hol- brook stood by several peculiar looking levers. As I stood on the steps a com- mittee consisting of Helen Hardy and Rebecca Sherman, with due ceremony, came forward and presented me with a large, carefully planned 'map of Olympia. After saying good-bye to my friends, I than entered the cabin, sat down by the radio and closed my eyes. There was a loud snap, a wind blew across my face, I heard a throbbing hum, and felt a sensation of great suspense. Then there was a slight jolt. On open- ing my eyes I found that the cabin was again on the little island in the Pacific ocean. I remembered the map, but on looking down found only the old copy of the Mirror. .
